HIMS 661 UMDC Electronic Health Record System Acquisition Paper

Step 2: System Acquisition: RFI, RFP, vendor selection, contract negotiation.

After you have identified the tasks and set the milestones as well as determined task dependency, your next step is to decide whether to develop the system in-house or buy a standard system from the market, also called off-the-shelf. Although the EHR systems, like the other IT systems used to be built and still can be built in-house, they are now mostly acquired from the EHR vendors, like EPIC, Cerner, Allscripts, etc. Your manger advised you to proceed with the RFI (Request for Information), RFP (Request for Proposal), and vendor selection criteria as well as contract negotiation points to be listed as clauses in the contract (e.g., after sale service to maintain the system, provide updates, and undertake training).
